Details
The UK agreed a deal to associate to Horizon Europe on 7 September 2023.
UK researchers can now apply for Horizon Europe funding, certain that all successful UK applicants will be covered through the UK’s association (or through the guarantee) for the remainder of the programme. Find more detail on the agreement.
All calls from Work Programme 2024 onwards will have their awards funded by the European Commission, and the UK guarantee scheme will be extended to cover all calls up to and including Work Programme 2023.
The ’Horizon Europe guarantee’ scheme provides funding to researchers and innovators who were unable to receive their Horizon Europe funding while the UK was in the process of associating.
Guarantee funding will continue to be delivered through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and details regarding the scope and terms of the extension to the guarantee are available on their website: Horizon Europe Guarantee: notice and guidance.
